alright tennis player caroline mosley akki is being accused of a racist
impersonation of serena williams
by stuffing her bra and pants this was doing some kind of
uh... exhibition type match and i'm gonna play the video for you and i have
to say that there's a number of different opinions about this as well as
to whether it's racist or not the the racist implication is black women are
stereotyped as having a large *** and large box and that that would being
ridiculed here's a look play the video and take a little happens first
mrs
city use
city focused
so before we go further let me also just show you that andy roddick also did
something very very similar how how long does this in time i think this is last
year's last year's let's take a look at and *** doing basically the same
thing
what are these two have in common well they have in common that neither one is
very funny what do they have that are different well
the
uh... backlash against this incident by god caroline mozy ac has been pretty
strong accusations of racism
uh... accusations that this is
not harmless fun
and we've had a number of different opinions on the spending this thing dot
com wrote an article saying given the history and current day context of
racial i standards of beauty the hyper *** ization of people of color
when a white woman makes fun of a black woman's body especially in a way that
hyper sexualized despair and draws on the stereotype of black women's big
bucks it's racist
the counter argument has been and what i thought of right away was
is it really of a black woman or is it specifically of serena williams because
her sister venus williams is black
and as a completely different body that would be impersonated in that way so i
just don't know how i feel about this
uh... on one hand serena williams herself is known for referring to her
curvaceous figure in the day before she was in brazil to promote the twenty
sixteen games sheet we did do they make brazilian bikinis for well
and july she treated a picture of her bottom with the words
i think this one z makes bide my but look
so what's the what's the deal your we talk about racism are we talking about
simply a joke that's not very funny maybe in poor taste how do we parse this
out
uh... my think we're talking about racial paranoia here
you think so for this
we're working on this show we
regularly accuse people of racism when we believe it to be there but on this
particular case you just don't think that that's what it is
model now what about the argument on that even if the intention was not
racist
it correlates with a stereotype of black what the black women and therefore it is
racist in it under town
uh... it's difficult to say for me uh... it seems to me like uh... serena
williams has a body
that's uh... not typical of the any demographic group but all so it seems to
me like this is just a joke and uh... i think racial paranoia slash political
correctness is factoring in i don't see any reason
uh... to look at this any different than a drill kab out the way a person looks
and moves
and sell ply any sort of racial constitutes an impersonation plain and
simple
will issue a great degree i have to say i'm hesitant to to and you know i love
pointing out when there is actual racism i'd just don't think that this is really
where the focus should be
let's take a break great interview coming up next on the debate debated
